Thank's Andreas ..

[CharlieDelta]

Excellent!!

[Hornstar]

You've done it again! And with the planned features...wow!

I hope we dont lose you with vbulletin germany on the brink.

[Boofo]

Nice idea, but some sort of error meeds to display explaining what is happening when they click on th What's New button.

[Boofo]

I had to disable this for now as once you turn if off and turn it back on, it still won't show the activity stream anymore with the What's New navtab. Also, I did not see the permissions for this in the Usergroups settings. For Admins, anyway.

[Andreas]

*doh*
The bitfield XML was missing ...

Upload, Rebuild, Set permissions and it should work.

[Boofo]

Were we in a hurry earlier? LOL

Thank you for the fix, sir. ;)

[Boofo]

That fixed it but I would suggest having the usergroups option set to yes on default, instead of no.

[Andreas]

Yeah, I also thought about that but then I thought again:
Whoever is installing this Add-on might want to disable AS completely so Off might be a better default?
Apatr from that, Off requires no additional installation code :D

[Boofo]

True. I never looked at it that way, I guess. It would also be nice to either disable the What's New button for those groups that have it set to off or change the link to show the new posts like it did before 4.2.

[Lynne]

Very nice!!

[tbworld]

Thanks Andreas! - Very Nice!

If it wasn't for boofo's comment, about it normally being off -- It would have taken me sometime to figure it out. I just figured I loaded it incorretly. Thanks All!

[qpurser]

hm. a little confused.

Imported the product-as_enhancements.xml which works fine but what do I do with the
bitfield_as_enhancements.xml?
You can't import it as it it says "Invalid file specified"

edit:
Figured it out already.
I had to upload this file into the includes/xml/ folder

[egyptsons]

Great! :)

where should this file be uploaded?

[hjmaier]

It would be great to be able to exclude single forums from the activity stream in the ACP.

Thank you

[jesfro]

Dear Andreas,
i need a "how to install" advice for the bitfield XML...

[davidg]

jesfro first read this thread page by page to see for solution
upload bitfield file to your xml folder

[jesfro]

Thank you, i've already found the solution. Are there any other add-ons regarding the activity stream? i would like to admit our users having the choice to say yes or no to the activity stream...

[zakonline]

You don't need any Mod for this, Just go to Settings - > Navigation Manager and then just set "No" for Active option

[Ramsesx]

It would be cool to have the option assigning user group permissions to the preview length.

Zak, that setting just turns off the link in the navbar..it does not turn off the activity stream..

Here are some better activity stream enhancements:

Shows pictures/videos in the stream, complete posts.

Allow users to reply to posts directly in the activity stream without having to leave it to go to the thread.

You could basically have every new post seen and replied to on a single page, brilliant for activity.

[Fivestones]

thanks great

Very true.. If you're gonna do it, do it all the way.!! (Basically a Facebook "wall")

[londoner]

[webspider]

Great job on this. A couple things for future consideration.

- attachments
- pm's
- thanks /dislikes

[e24h]

Great!

[RichieBoy67]

Would like to be able to have specific forums not display in activity stream. That would be a great feature.

New plugin at hook threaddata_presave:
if ($this->info['forum']['forumid'] == '4'){
$this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);
}

New plugin at hook postdata_presave
if ($this->info['forum']['forumid'] == '4'){
$this->set_info('skip_activitystream', true);
}

[tbworld]

Thanks for sharing @sub-ui :)

If you have set your forum permissions correctly, the forum thread should not be readable in the activity stream. I retested this in vb4.2.0, vb4.2.1, vb4.2.2

[keyla31]

this was very helpful, thank you

[yin9]

Many thanks. Works on 4.2.5 and PHP 7.1.3.
